Excellent seasonal choice from PnP with nice aging. At 6+ years the color became more rust gold (similar to the frame of the label). Nice nose and the typical expected palate tasting of a viognier with one additional 'twist'- longer finish/aftertaste. Given the potential of this wine, and the varietal in general, I always wonder how come viognier by the glass is not more popular for summer/spring days. But, at home- this was a great bottle. Enjoyable and well recommended for a weekend casual. For more descriptive notes, I would note that the winemaker's fact sheet is actually very true/accurate to the aging description

Six courses on short notice with some great football: Very light yellow color. Floral nose of white flowers, honeysuckle and perfume. On the palate this has much more weight than its looks would suggest with a nice chewy rich texture. There is nice vibrant acidity too balance the richness nice layers of fruit like peach and various tropical fruits. This is still very young and would likely be much better in 5-10 years. Good with pea soup and lobster.

Drank after the '14. This is a fresher, more vibrant wine. Tropical fruit flavors with a little sweet honey finish, nice balance.
